Description

Inside the brick-lined space accented by weathered wood, the menu accommodates various needs with dishes that can be prepared gluten-free or vegan. The kitchen's strengths include rich Chiang Mai curry noodles and flavorful chicken basil fried rice, though the Kee Mao leans sweeter than spicy. Drinks add to the visual detail, with creative cocktails served in real fruit. For dessert, the taro custard is served hot alongside classic mango sticky rice, finishing a meal in a room designed with plenty of photo opportunities.
